ASBESTOS AND MOLD REMEDIATIONS & INSPECTIONS

Asbestos Inspections & Asbestos Abatement Services

Remtech Engineers provides asbestos inspections, asbestos abatement, mold inspections, mold remediation, and hazardous building material investigations for commercial buildings, schools, universities, airports, industrial facilities, government buildings, hospitals, and transportation infrastructure. Remtech’s principals have more than 50 years of experience in asbestos remediation, mold remediation, environmental investigations, and hazardous building material abatement, beginning with the early EPA asbestos school programs in the 1970s. Our experience responding to complex environmental hazards allows Remtech to identify contamination sources, control airborne exposures, and perform safe removal or containment of hazardous materials.

Remtech Engineers provides asbestos inspections, asbestos testing, asbestos abatement, and asbestos remediation services for buildings containing asbestos-containing materials (ACM).  Our principals have successfully completed asbestos remediation projects at Airports, Schools and Universities, Hospitals and Health Care Facilities, Government Buildings, Power Plants, Industrial Facilities and Transportation Infrastructure.

Remtech principals have worked on asbestos remediation projects improperly performed by inexperienced contractors across numerous jurisdictions including Kansas, Missouri, Maryland, Washington DC, Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, and others.  Agencies and organizations assisted include the GSA, Consumer Product Safety Commission, school systems, universities, airports, hospitals, and research facilities.

With Atlanta becoming one of the largest film production hubs in the United States, Remtech assists movie production companies and location managers with environmental inspections and remediation services.

Advanced Asbestos Fiber Control Technology

Remtech developed advanced asbestos fiber control technologies in the 1970s based on medical exposure criteria. These engineering controls were designed to maintain asbestos fiber concentrations below OSHA and EPA exposure limits within work zones while preventing contamination of adjacent occupied areas. This innovative work received an Honorable Mention Award from the American Consulting Engineers Council of Missouri and was published in:  Journal of Environmental Engineering – ASCE, Vol. 2, April 1983, pp. 275–288.

Mold Inspection, Mold Testing & Mold Remediation

Remtech Engineers has over four decades of experience in mold inspections, mold testing, mold remediation, and building restoration services. Our board-certified environmental engineers have performed some of the earliest mold, asbestos, mercury, and hazardous material remediation projects in the United States, including contamination cleanup at Universities, Primary and Secondary Schools, Hospitals, Airports, and Government Facilities.

Causes of Mold Growth

Effective mold remediation requires identifying and eliminating the sources of water intrusion and moisture accumulation that allow mold growth. Common moisture sources include, Roof leaks,Building facade failures, Foundation drainage problems, Clogged gutters and downspouts, Improper site grading and drainage, Capillary moisture transmission through floors, HVAC condensate leaks, Plumbing leaks, Groundwater intrusion, and Natural disasters including floods, hurricanes, and storms. Once moisture sources are corrected, emergency water removal and structural drying are performed.

Mold Remediation & Building Restoration Methods

Mold remediation typically involves removing contaminated materials and treating affected surfaces using specialized cleaning and containment methods. Porous materials heavily contaminated with mold such as drywall, carpet, and degraded wood are typically removed, while non-porous materials may be cleaned, disinfected, and encapsulated.
